Your error messages refer to "[http://elasticsearch:9200/](http://elasticsearch:9200/)"  
What does the hostname `elasticsearch` resolve to?

Thank you, though it would have been even better if you edited the original post.

However, I'll repeat my earlier question:

> [@TimV](#):
>
> What does the hostname `elasticsearch` resolve to?

Your error message says:

```auto
Unable to revive connection: http://elasticsearch:9200/

```

Does that URL mean something in your environment? Have you created some host alias or DNS record for _elasticsearch_?  
The most likely explanation is that you have misconfigured Kibana so it cannot connect to ES.
